Hey Sarah! I feel much better thanks! I avoided pasta this week to see what the scales say when I cut it out completely. I haven't really missed it to be honest! And Ryvitas have taken the place of bread for now, although I'm trying different HEXb's to see how I feel.
How are you doing?

Try and try again
Well I hope it works and you're rewarded with a big loss!
Hmm... I think I'm going to have to get myself some ryvitas... they're one of those things I go through phases of liking, but I've been really fancying them recently
I'm doing ok, just hope I can keep my motivation going this week! Would love 1.5lb off this week to get me my 2stone shiny back!

Good luck! I've decided I'll be happy with 1-2lbs, but absolutely ecstatic if I lose more! I want the next stone bracket ASAP (4lbs away)!

Hey Surreygal! Yesterday was much better, but I've been so busy these last few days, my biggest problem has been NOT eating regularly, which I know can show as a gain or STS. It's been a weird week, I can usually stick to my syns, but I've been going over due to the not eating regularly - it's a cycle! Ah well, I've resolved that I will go to class tonight (I almost wasn't going to) and start afresh on Thursday no matter what happens!
